Dry needling is used for myofascial release. However, its effectiveness in carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is not well known. It is thought that dry needling may also be an effective treatment for CTS by providing relaxation in the fascial tissue. Therefore, this study will examine the effects of dry needling treatment on pain, function, range of motion, proprioception and disability in patients with CTS.

Stroke is a prevalent cause of long-term disability, with a rising global incidence. Stroke patients commonly experience impaired balance and trunk control, which limits their daily activities and quality of life. Spasticity is the result of upper motor neuron lesion in which the reflex arc is spared, however there is a lesion to the descending pathways of the spinal cord, which leads to the hyper excitability of the alpha motor neurons. Spasticity is a form of velocity dependent hypertonia. When dry needle is applied it induces relaxation in the muscle by increasing the distance between the z lines in the sarcomere and reduces the overlapping of contractile proteins, which ultimately leads to relaxation in the muscle. Dry needling also reduces the firing of the afferent pathways from the local muscle to the spinal cord reducing the excitability of the alpha motor neurons this leads to reduce spasticity. A randomized control trial will be conducted in multidisciplinary lab of FUCP, department of physical medicine and rehabilitation of Fauji Foundation Hospital on the sample of 30 participants. The subjects will be randomized into two groups by sealed opaque envelope method. A treatment over the course of 6 weeks will be provided. Interventional group will be receiving dry needling in addition to Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation while the control group will receive sham needling in addition to Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation. Exercise training would be done for a total of 6 weeks, with needling twice a week, the session will last 30- 50 minutes. Using SPSS version 21 would do analysis. Ethical approval will be obtained from ERC of FUSH. Informed written consent will be obtained from all participants.

The transportation industry is growing rapidly and the most popular mode is overland by road. Traffic accidents are the most direct and serious risk to the lives of Western people. A large number of traffic accidents occur on the roads each year, especially those caused by motor vehicles on motorways and urban ring roads, often resulting in massive loss of life. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 1.35 million people die each year worldwide. Whiplash is the most common injury in motor vehicle collisions, affecting 83% of injured people. The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is one of the most complex joints in the human body, since in addition to performing functions in dental occlusion, it does so in the neuromuscular system. Due to the relationship of the neck with the mandible, the main objective of the study is to determine if there is an improvement in pain and functional limitation in general by applying the dry needling technique in the temporomandibular joint musculature.
NCT05995639
The aim of this study is to compare the effects of dry needling treatment (DN) and ozone treatment on pain and functionality in individuals with myofascial pain syndrome affecting the upper trapezius (UT) region.
NCT05300815
Dry Needling is an intervention that continues to gain widespread interest as a treatment adjunct for various pathological conditions. With the increased use of dry needling in the clinic, there comes a need for additional research to investigate the adverse events associated with the use of dry needling. Informed Consent is a process that is legally required in many states prior to the performance of a treatment intervention like dry needling. It is important therefore to identify which of these adverse events should be included in an informed consent process.

Effectiveness of dry needling and stretching on joint range and myofascial pain at the cervical level in people with fibromyalgia
NCT04469088
Temporomandibular Joint Disorders (TJD) represent a set of conditions that involve pain and dysfunction of the temporomandibular joint. TJD are a frequent disability affection in the worldwide population and the 35% of affected present at least a symptom such as orofacial pain, mouth movement limitations and snapping or crying temporo-mandibular. Due to the increase of the incidence of the TJD the investigators propose to complete this study. A randomized controlled trial with parallel groups have been designed and blind evaluation of the response variable. The hypothesis is that dry needling produces a positive effect in the involved variables of this study in comparison with manual therapy. The aim of this RCT is to compare the effectiviness of the application of manual therapy in comparison with dry needling in the perceived pain, mouth opening, the degree of cervical disability and the pressure-pain threshold (PPT) of myofascial trigger points (MTrP) in patiens with TJD.
